Jellycat (the only cats we'll EVER own)

We love Jellycat stuffed animals. They are sooooo cute! Their bashful collection is our favorite but all their stuff is cute. It all started when Lucy was born and a friend from Johnny's work bought her the Jellycat monkey.

Lucy became attached to it when she was still a baby. We loved it because it was soft and cute. Well her monkey (who has remained simply "monkey") has been her sleeping companion ever since. She used to take him everywhere with her, but now she just sleeps with him. It was nice to have something else to continue comforting her when we took the binky away at age 2.

Lucy was 2 here. This is right after a nap I'm sure. Monkey is even more beat up looking now. But we love him!

So when I was pregnant with Jenna we decided we'd get her a Jellycat animal and make it kind of a tradition in our family. We chose this squishy little piggy for her.

Jenna loves her piggy too, he's been there through the bad and the good. (Oddly enough, they've always been "he's".

With girl number 3 just a month from joining the ranks we decided we needed to pick her out an animal. This is the one we landed on:

The purple hippo. I think he's so cute. So, I guess if we don't have a name for this baby it's ok, because we've at least got her a Jellycat all ready and waiting!

About Me

We met in 2004 and became fast friends. After some wooing on his part we dated for 10 months and got married in June 2006. 2009 was a big year for us; we bought our first home and had our sweet Lucy. In July 2011 we added another little girl to the mix, Jenna Lily. In August, we will be officially over our heads in pink when girl number 3 joins the family! We can't wait.
